ONIQUE RADIO OSED AT CITY FLYING SCHOOL Students in Solo Flights Given Orders from Ground. Attention of fliers throughout the United Suites for several month* has been attracted to Indianapolis Municipal Airport as result of successful operation of Station W9XDJ, i the only licensed broadcasting station in the country used to instruct j student fliers in the air from th# ground. The station is owned and operated by the Tarkington Aviation Cos. The miniature transmitting set, with a normal range of 25 miles, i* located in a bookcase in the company's office at the airport. Equally miniature receiving sets are in- | stalled in training planes flown by the'company's flying students. The students first receive the customary instruction flights, with the instructor seated in the plane's second cockpit. He is there to teach the fundamentals of flying to the student. Then arrives thflt event of event* in a flying student's life—the first solo flight. Under ordinary instruction methods, the stuaent looks forward to his first solo flight with mingled emotions of delight and dread. Nervousness Is Lessened Missing the comforting presence of his instructor, he usually is nervous and sometimes loses hia head ; completely and. through fear, refuses to attempt to land until forced to do so when his gasoline supply is exhausted. This experience Is reported entirely lacking under the system devised by Elvan Tarkington. president of the Tarkington Aviation Cos. Climbing into his plane for the first solo flight, the student clamps on a headset. Through the headset he receives a quiet order to taxi to the end of the runway, turn around and head into the wind, and, finally, to take off. While he is in the air, every movement can be guided by the instructor, using a small microphone while standing in the glass-enclosed control tower of the airport administration building. Shortens Training Period Besides reducing the possibility of an accident to an almost negligible point, the system is said to shprten the instruction period and make it less expensive, at the same time giving the student the benefit of constant instruction even when flying alone. The radio equipment was designed by Mr. Tarkington and built for him by Earl W. Springer, president of the Simplex Electric Cos. of Indianapolis. The receiving sets, located on the cockpit floor back of the pilot's seat, weigh only 16 pounds, including battery, generator and head phones. The station is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to operate on the ultra high frequency of 31,600 kilocycles. This high frequency eliminate static. Mr. Tarkington said the operating cost of the station is negligible, the cost being less than half that of operating an ordinary electric light bulb. Placed on Market Soon Mr. Tarkington plans to place the receiving and transmitting sets on the market soon, at a cost of about ; SSO each for receiving sets and S7OO | for transmitters. The receivers can be installed in any type plane in a few minutes. Another innovation In student flying equipment designed by Mr. Tarkington and soon to be placed on the market is a radio beam receiver for blind flying instruction. This set, which weighs only 26 pounds and which probably can be marketed for about $145. is similar l to the type used by airline pilots in flying blind through bad weather, but costs and weighs much less than the regulation sets. It also is used in instructing students of the Tarkington school.
